Centroid of half circle

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Calculate the location of the centroid (See PDF)

----------------------------------------
I am stuck on how to find the centroid of a half circle, item #5. I don't how to find the distance of that centroid on the x-axis. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Firstly, you should learn some patience: the homework helpers here give up their time voluntarily, and so you cannot demand that they answer your question within a couple of hours of posting, especially if you do not conform to the homework rules. Where is your work? What have you tried for the problem? How do you calculate a centroid, in general?

I didn't demand nothing, I simply asked a question and was trying to bump the thread because my .pdf was pending approval for awhile. Second, I didn't ask how to calculate a general centroid. Finally, I asked how to calculate the centroid of a half circle. There was no work to be shown because I had no idea how to calculate the centroid of a half circle. I didn't try anything on this problem.

Looking at your attachment this is an engineering question about the CofG of a complex shape that involves a semicircle. So in this case it's probably perfectly reasoanble to just lookup the equation and use it.
If this had been a maths/calculus question asking you to prove the CofG of a semicircle then us telling you that the answer is 4*R/3pi does no good - that was cristo's point.
